Day 15

Bible Verse

This challenge I found to be a little interesting but I will do a bible verse that I like and has great meaning to me. 

Isaiah 53:5-7

5.But he was ^awounded for our ^btransgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his ^cstripes we are ^dhealed.

 6.All we like ^asheep have gone ^bastray; we have turned every one to his ^cown way; and the Lord hath laid on him the ^diniquity of us all.

 7.He was ^aoppressed, and he was ^bafflicted, yet he ^copened not his mouth: he is brought as a ^dlamb to the ^eslaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

These verses remind me that Christ went through everything he understands everything and because of his love for us we can return to him someday. We can be healed from our pains and sorrows we just need to ask. It also reminds me of what an amazing love Christ has for each one of us and I am so very thankful for the things he did so that we can live with him once more.

 

Day 14

Picture of you last year and one of you this year!

This is a picture of me with Becca last year

This is a picture of me with Becca this year

Differences and how I have changed. Last year I had shorter hair even though you can't tell in the pictures. I just had a miscarriage a month a go in the first picture and then I had another one again in Dec. You can see how much Becca has changed in both pictures. The bottom picture I felt better about my body and myself. It is really hard to go through a miscarriage and lose all that weight you have gained. I had a little bit of a hard time with the weight I had gained and was having a hard time losing it. My hair looks better in the 2nd picture :) Anyhow it is fun to see the differences in the picture I don't think I have changed a ton but there are a few changes.

 

Day 13

GOALS!

I am only going to list a few of my goals but I do have many probably too many. But oh well just take one day at a time is all you can do.

 

1. Open my preschool. We are so close to being done and now that I can no longer take Becca to work with me we are really pushing to get this preschool up and started. I am very scared that we will not make enough money but I am willing to take that chance so that I can live my dream of teaching preschool in my home and being able to stay home with Becca. Why the stars you may ask. My preschool is going to be called "Little Stars Preschool"

 2. I would like to start using more coupons in my shopping. If it could really save money I would really like to do it. I have an amazing sister in law who uses coupons and I am always amazed at all the stuff she got for as little of money she paid. The only problem is I am not sure how to use them as well as she does. This is a big learning step for me but I really do want to do anything I can to save money.

 

3. This goal may seem a little strange but I really really want to get Michael some schooling. He wants to get a different job but we are running into the problem of him having no degree so he is kind of stuck. We are looking in getting him A++ Certified (something to do with computers) that will help him a lot to have something other than experience behind him. Hopefully we can get this done. I think he is getting sick of me pushing so much but I feel that it is really important.

 

4. I want to plant flowers in my front yard. I love flowers they make me so happy. We planted grass this year and it is starting to slowly come up. Michael left a spot for me to plant flowers. I have wonderful pretty rose bushes now I just want to add a few other flowers to make my yard look pretty. Maybe if we are lucky more humming birds will stop by :)

5. I love to camp! I want to go camping a lot this year. I think Becca would love it. I also would like to go out on the lake more. We had so much fun last year going out on the raft. Becca loves the water and has already started asking if we can go boating lol.

6. I would like to start reading the Book Of Mormon as a family. We do so good at saying family prayers and Becca understands that if she is not feeling well she can ask for a blessing. So I think now it a perfect time to start reading as a family. I would like to start doing it more by myself too.

 

7. I would like to start writing in my journal everyday. Growing up I was really good at writing in my journal but now I have not done it for a few years. After my grandma Seeley passed away I begun to see how important it was to keep a journal. I would have loved to read about her life and her thoughts. But she never kept one. We found like 6 different journals that people had gave to her but they were all blank lol

8. Last goal I like to end on even numbers. The last goal I have is I would like to keep a cleaner house. Now understand my house is not horrible but I would like it to be cleaner and not so many piles everywhere. I would like everything to have a place. 

Anyways these are a few goals that I do have and that I am working on. Hopefully I can reach all of them. What a great feeling it is when you do reach a goal.
